butterfly hanging out in the garden....

A few days ago I was out checking out the garden with mom, and I spotted this butterfly sitting on one of the rods holding up the tomato plants. I knew my camera was downstairs, but I just knew if I just ran in for a second, it will fly away. But I took my chances because I have not had the chance to take pictures of any butterflies. So I ran in and ran out and to my surprise, there it was hanging out on a leaf in the garden as still as a rock. It only hopped around a little bit while I was taking pictures. The only disappointing thing was that it would not open up its wings...oh well :)

Mother-Daughter Tea Party!

This pass Saturday, our girl's Discipleship group had a party for the mom's and daughters who are in the group. It was plenty fun! Michelle and her sister came and spoke on the importance of modesty. They also have a store that sell amazing modest clothing!! They bought their store to the party so we could try on and buy their products. Here is the link to their online store. Some members of our group did a fashion show to show some of the clothes that they sell. Fun stuff!!!

my 18th birthday!

My Birthday was pretty awesome! My family and friends made it a birthday to remember. After I got my license the evening before my birthday, my dad took me to Cheddars for dinner!

One my Birthday, my siblings gave me some neato presents including candy--Hershey's and lemonheads-- and money to spend at Hobby Lobby (YES!!). For fun, we went to the mall and found a few good deals. Then we came home as satisfied shoppers and ate birthday cake!

Later on, we had caregroup at our house and Mrs. Carolyn made the most amazing ice cream cakes for my birthday! (Thank you soo much Mrs. Carolyn!) I unfortunately do not have any pics of the cakes- they were so pretty. Then they sang Happy Birthday which was really nice!

Here are a few pics!
